Celtic Memory

I love this blog and her style of writing. To tempt you to go there also, I stole this photo from one of her posts. It is hers but saved to my server. I may steal photos but never band width.
So take a look at this.

And then go there.

Finished at Last


A sunny morning and tangerine socks. Besides being a bit blurry, they are cheerful and DONE. Yeah for that. My left index finger agrees. It is slightly sore and slightly punctured. I really need to learn a new way of knitting.

But not in the middle of Sock Madness 3.

After that I will find a new excuse. (grin)

Accomplishments


I finished the first Sock Madness 3 sock. Tropical Mertini is fun. I however am very very slow. Thank goodness the yarn is so pretty. It keeps me coming back to it. That and the fact that I really want to see the other sock finished. And then to lick them. The color reminds me of oranges and I love oranges. I crave oranges.

Hmmm. I think the drugs are controlling me.

Oranges. Sweet, juicy oranges.


I am now soooo hungry.

Sock Madness 3


The first pattern is Tropical Mertini. I panicked a bit at the idea of making afterthought heels but this is supposed to be a challenge. So far, so good. The yarn is Stash so I don't really know what it is or where it was created but it is very pretty and shiny. Shiny is good. Shiny and percocet are a very interesting combination. Trying to compete in a sock knitting contest while taking percocet is probably not the wisest move I have ever made. Then again, how wise can one be while taking percocet? What I do know is that I would rather be knitting while drugged than in pain. So whatever happens with this sock, it will be amusing.

Traveling Toward Sock Madness

Can one laugh and knit at the same time? You may find yourself laughing at my disasterous knitting attempts.

Prepare for some really bad photos too.
